[PEN-L:1905] Re: SAVE OUR PLANET. STATUS

["U.P.secr." <peoples@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear  Ish,

Only  recently  have  I  become  aware  of  the  seriousness  and
the  possible  revolutionary  potential  the  Y2K  poses.

Without  a  lot  of  research  I  find  it  very  difficult  to  evaluate
whether  the  pros  or  contras  will  prevail.   The  decentralization
effect  seems  rather  certain.   But  will  this  necessarily   weaken
the  TNCs ?   They  have  time  and  resources  to  prepare  for  the
new  situation.  They  will  have  to  strengthen  their  planning  and
make  it  longer  sighted.   And  will  it  be  easier  to  fight  many
local  branches  in  stead  of  one  centralized  headquarter  ?
The  attitude  of  their  politicians  probably  will  not  change  over-
night.

Compared  with  the  internationalization  of  the  TNCs  by  means  of
the  world  parliament  I  would  find  the  task  to  be  much  more
complicated.

And  the  possible  breakdown  of  the  Internet  not  only  would  be  a
catastrophe  for  the  TNCs,  but  also  for  US !   Up  until  now  I  have
considered  the  net  to  be  the  great  chance  of  our  planet.

IF,  however,  we  should  be  so  lucky  that  the  Y2K  really  will  be
able
to  defeat  the  TNCs  without  much  effort  from  our  side,  I  think  we
will  need  the  world  parliament  of  the  united  peoples  anyway,  to
organize  the  future  globalization  on  OUR  terms   and  to  prevent
Mafia  conditions  a  la  Russia.

Regards,
Ole

P.S.  This  time  I  think  I  managed  to  BCC  the  many  addresses !
